‘Invasion of Privacy’ album by Cardi B is a reality!

It is often said you can be anything you want to be, you just have to put your mind to it. This piece of advice has been peddled across different millennia in different languages and perhaps slightly different grammar but the underlying meaning remains the same.

Irregardless of your name your colour, you have to believe in yourself just believe and do not stop believing.

You have to back yourself, you have to have that confidence and spunk that you will make it in your chosen field. Cue in point the curious case of the latest rap sensation Cardi B. Last week Friday April 6, she dropped her first studio album titled Invasion of Privacy.

‘Invasion Of Privacy’ only features Migos, Chance the Rapper, Khelani, 21 Savage and SZA.

The album is set to debut at number one on the next Billboard Chart. She has certainly come far. She used to be a stripper after all and unlike most people she is not ashamed about her past, she wears it like a badge on her sleeve. Cardi B is not like most artificially enhanced women, she does not deny any of it. She has openly admitted she had her ass injected and has had implants inserted to enlarge the size of her breasts.

“All right, here’s the thing,” begins Cardi B when I ask how her body came to be. “When I was 21, I did not have enough meat on my body—if I was to get lipo, I wouldn’t have fat for my ass.” Cardi B, as we know her, took shape about four years ago, when she was already a few years into her stripping career. Though she did not know it at the time, the aforementioned investments in her silhouette would prove the boost that would enable her to scale her first level of fame.

She wanted fat for her ass because (1) her boyfriend had recently cheated on her with a woman who, per Cardi, “had a fat, big ass” and (2) she’d observed that her colleagues with big asses made more money than she did stripping, regardless of dancing technique. Cardi claimed her a$$ from the universe in a basement apartment in Queens, where, for $800, a woman injected her buttocks with filler. “They don’t numb your ass with anything,” she says. “It was the craziest pain ever. I felt like I was gonna pass out. I felt a little dizzy. And it leaks for, like, five days.”

Throw caution to the wind, try that thing you have always wanted to try, do not let anything hold you back. Look no father than Cardi B, from nothing to something. From a stripper to a chart topper. She does not have a college degree neither does she have innate musical skills but she is killing it, she is in the game with all the big boys and girls and she is more than holding her own.
